We have been successful with wireless setups in the 0-5000 users range. We have not tried anything beyond (yet). Some of the setups have Open SSID + WPA2-Enterprise SSID some only open some only secure. With freeradius 2 I was able to perform more than 300 successful VLAN assignation per minute (implies correct authorization) on a pentium 3. By default the setup should scale to a lot of users. Then, reaching a critical point, you should be looking at service separation, caching and other tricks to get it beyond. Some of this was already thought of in the design of the solution. So far, we never had to do the additional tricks. The hardware grew more powerful and FreeRADIUS 2 is an amazing piece of software. Let me know if you need anything else. -- Olivier Bilodeau [email protected] :: +1.514.447.4918 *115 :: www.inverse.ca Inverse inc. :: Leaders behind SOGo (www.sogo.nu) and PacketFence (www.packetfence.org) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
